It's pretty important to respect and love yourself AND your body.
Since life is about balance, so what if you mess up your usual meal plan over a weekend, are you about to compete in a competition? What about having to sacrifice some gym because family is more important? Again I ask, do you have a fitness expo to star in?
What am I getting at?
We see so many fit body images all the time on social media and the likes. But lets be realistic, most of these people have this as their job or are showing off years of dedication or months of competition prep for an up coming or finished competition. I'm not knocking those that do, I'm just asking those who have lost their way to NOT hold a grudge against themselves.
Sure idealy, eat healthy, train often and you will feel awesome AND look awesome because of it.
But if you are not a bodybuilder or fitness model cracking down to attain a goal don't let a couple of extra cookies at a morning tea catch up, or a party with friends binge cause you too much upset.
Instead, breifly acknowledge the fun time you had, register that this is not a normal thing AND move on.
Did you overbuy naughty treats for the kids birthday party? Chuck em out or take them to work to share with others. Don't keep snacking and regretting over the week.
Did you have to miss a week of gym? Use that thinking time to plan what you will do in the week ahead.
Remember it is fine to dream and healthy to have a body image goal. But if it is not realistic, you might be on a path to self loathing and enivitably...loss of motivation.
Enjoy food, family and experience ad balance that with healthy choices where you can and as much exercise as you can to keep it all in check!
